MOORE APPEAL SET FOR
JUNE
Pray Often for Chief Justice Roy Moore

You shall keep His statutes and His
commandments... that it may go well with you and with your children
after you... forever (Dt 4:40)

Last November, U.S. District Judge Myron Thompson ruled for
the ACLU in its lawsuit against Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.
In December, he ordered Moore to remove the Ten Commandment
monument he erected in the rotunda of the Alabama Judicial Building
in July 2001. Moore appealed to the 11th Federal Circuit Court
of Appeals in Montgomery, which is slated to hear his appeal
on June 2.

* The 5,300-pound granite memorial will remain in place, at
least for now. In a surprise move, after rejecting arguments
from Moore's attorneys to prevent removal of the memorial, Judge
Thompson granted Moore a stay from his removal order pending
review on appeal.

* Moore's attorneys must now present written briefs by March
10. The ACLU must submit their written response by March 30.
Oral arguments before a three-judge appeals panel will begin
June 2.

* No matter what ruling of the panel is the case will be further
appealed to the full Circuit Court. Moore's attorneys believe
the case will ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

* Liberal Supreme Court Justice William Brennen, wrote, "Government...
may not question whether [officeholders] actions stem from religious
conviction... [nor] fence out from political participation those...
it regards as overinvolved in religion... The Establishment Clause...
may not be used...to justify repression of religion or its adherents
from any aspect of public life... (McDaniel v. Paty, 1978).

Dr. Herb Titus, one of Moore's distinguished attorneys, says
his case will answer several questions: 1) Must elected officials
park their Christian views at the office door; 2) Is it unconstitutional
for an elected judge or other official to express his Biblical
reasons for favoring or opposing a piece of legislation; 3)
Can it be that an agnostic or atheist can bring his views to
his official duties, but a Christian may not?

Please Join Us in Constant Prayer:

* Lord, thank You for RAISING UP Chief Justice Moore for such
a time as this (Ps 75:7; 94:16; 119:53; Pr 21:22; 28:4; Dan
11:32).
